from across the aisle, i remind the country as senator rubio did, that these sanctions are a result of past crimes. you don't need a classified briefing to know what russia has done in the past. to duck the question and refuse to commit to continuing these sanctions is tauntmount to sweeping international laws under the rug. it says go ahead, interfere in our elections again. nothing will happen to you. it says the same to china and iran and any other country that might try to hack. secretary nominee tillerson has also not committed to new sanctions. just yesterday, a bipartisan group of senators, including the senators from south carolina, maryland, florida, california, nebraska, introduced a tough new sanctions on russia bill for their interference in our elections. i support this effort. i believe the senate should act soon upon it. i am very concerned that thus far, the president-elect, mr. tillerson and senator sessions have not endorsed these tough new sanctions. the senator from florida, not from my party, also pressed mr. tillerson on a series of war crimes committed by the

in your response to senator rubio whether you would support mandatory sanctions against specific individuals involved in confirmed verifiable cyberattacks against the united states is fairly extraordinary. the u.s. is under attack today. we are under attack by russia, by north korea, by china, through the cyberattacks, and so i guess i'm going to ask you to square how you can have a clear consistent policy on preventing cyberattacks against the united states when you've said before this committee that you don't support mandatory sanctions against verified individuals who have committed attacks against the united states because there might be complicated multifaceted relationships with certain countries in which you might want to weigh the attack against the united states with another consideration. how do you deter cyberattacks against the united states if you send a assess manage that you can get away with it with no sanctions against those individuals as long as there are other equities at stake with the united states. put those two together for me. >> senator, what i was intending to conv

marco rubio had a pretty strong line of questioning for rex tillerson just moments ago about his position on putin-era russia. do you think that reflects the sort of reception that the trump administration is likely to get for certain policies, whether it is the aca repeal or what have you, that some senators might be resistant to? >> reporter: to some extent, although i wouldn't overdraw that. there are particular issue reasons and reasons of their own political agendas that republican senators would have to closely question one nominee or the other. i do think that it is likely in the end that nearly all the trump nominees, including rex tillerson, will be confirmed. i don't think it's the case that all of them necessarily will. i think democrats are going to focus on those that they consider the most vulnerable parts. we talked about this before. i think the health and human services secretary nominee, because of the positions he's taking on medicare and medicaid, what are at odds with trump's campaign positions and also not popular are -- i think he is one who is going to be an intens
